Pattern-Matching Methods and Objects
JavaScript provides convenient pattern-matching methods in String objects, as well as a RegExp object for more complex pattern matching. JavaScript strings use the backslash for escapes; therefore, any escapes destined for the regular expression engine should be double escaped (e.g., \\w instead of \w). You can also use the regular expression literal syntax, /pattern/img.
